Mike Crabtree

Football Plebe Year – Numerials
David Phillips — Christine the B1 guys will talk your ear off at the 50th as your dad was legendary. One story he told me was when he got injured at plebe football practice and was being carried off on a stretcher. He saw his teammates coming over to him and thought, “What a wonderful gesture. All my buddies coming over to see if I am ok.” When the others got to Mike, all they did was scavenge his helmet, shoes, and hip pads.

It’s spring now and I’m thinking of you and of the all the wonderful stories your friends have shared. You were a man of integrity, leadership and someone who was always up for a good prank. Love and miss you always.
